Theater
Hans Christian Anderson Fri, 7/19, 7/26, 7:30 PM Sat, 7/13, 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM Sat, 7/20, 7/27, 2:00 PM, 7:30 PM Sun, 7/14, 7/21, 7/28, 2:00 PM $12-$20 Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts, Ethel M. Barber Theater, 20 Arts Circle Drive, 1949 Campus Drive, Evanston Contact: Wirtz Center Box Office, 847-491-7282, [email protected] At the age of 13, young Hans Christian Andersen is the first commoner ever chosen by the King of Denmark to study at the Royal Academy. But faced with the task of leaving his provincial family behind, he is dreading the experience. Upon arrival in Copenhagen he is quickly swept away in a dazzling world of new characters, challenges, and friends that ignite his inspiration for some of the world’s most famous stories such as “The Little Mermaid,” “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and more. Directed by Rives Collins and based on the life and imagination of Hans Christian Andersen, this brand new musical, which features a score by legendary Broadway composer Frank Loesser and an original libretto by Timothy Allen McDonald, follows the inspiring coming of age journey of a young penniless storyteller who would ultimately become one of the most celebrated writers of all time. Just as his stories have inspired countless generations, young and old alike, this enchanting summer production is recommended for all ages.
Art Exhibits
Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time: Art, Culture and Exchange across Medieval Sahara Africa Now to Sun, 7/21, free Exhibition tours Tues, 7/2, 7/9, 7/16, 12:00-12:45 PM, No RSVP requred Block Museum of Art, Mary and Leigh, 40 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston Contact: Block Museum of Art, 847-491-4000, [email protected] Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time challenges the widely held bias of a timeless Africa that is cut off from the dynamics of world history. This will be the first major exhibition to take stock of the material culture of early trans-Saharan trade and to offer strong evidence of the central but little-recognized role Africa played in medieval history. Among the diverse materials on view in the exhibition will be sculptures, jewelry, household and luxury objects, manuscripts, and architectural remnants. What unites these materials is their connections to routes of exchange across the Sahara Desert during the medieval period (eighth through 16th centuries). Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time addresses the shared history of West Africa, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe during the critical epoch of the eighth through 16th centuries, when West African gold fueled a global economy and was the impetus for the movement of things, people and ideas across the Sahara Desert to Europe, the Middle East and beyond. Because of the scarcity of surviving intact works from before the 16th century, the early history and material culture of Africa have rarely been the focus of major exhibitions. More than 100 assembled artworks and archeological fragments will help audiences discover the far-reaching impact of historic trans-Saharan exchange and the overlooked role of West Africa at the forefront of these developments. Using objects as points of entry and inquiry, Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time will interweave the art history, archaeology, history and comparative literature of trans-Saharan trade, situating it within a broad geographical and historical context.

Northwestern Music Academy
Learn more online
For more than 70 years, Northwestern University’s Music Academy in Evanston has provided music instruction to children and adult students from surrounding communities and the greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana area.
Other Courses (offered throughout the school year)
Piano and Organ The Music Academy Piano Division offers pre-piano class, which serves as an introduction to more formal piano instruction: keyboard instruction in two tracks for students ages 6 to 18, and instruction for adults. Pre-piano serves as an introduction to more formal piano instruction. Keyboard instruction for children begins with pre-staff music and expands to landmark-based intervallic reading. After the first year of study, most children participate in the Illinois State Music Teacher's Association curriculum assessment, where they demonstrate skills and receive certificates and pins for participation. Strings The String Division offers private lessons in violin, viola, and cello, with goals of both providing musical instruction and instilling a love of music and of learning music. The division believes that all children can learn to their potential when placed in an environment that includes clear instruction, an involved parent, and regular opportunities to listen to and perform. Voice (adults) Adult voice classes concentrate on basic vocal technique including registers, breathing, range, and diction. Unique teaching methods and small class size (4 to 5 students) produce good results after a short period of time. The class is recommended not only for people interested in singing, but also for adults who would like to improve their speaking voice. Private voice lessons also available.

One Northwestern A full program of events will kick off in September for our new One Book One Northwestern selection, Hidden Figures. For more information about the One Book One Northwestern program, please contact Nancy Cunniff at [email protected] or 847-467-2294.
Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly Selected for One Book Program 2019-2020
“Hidden Figures,” the true story of three pathbreaking black women scientists whose work enabled NASA’s first manned mission to orbit the Earth, is the One Book One Northwestern all-campus read for Northwestern University’s 2019-20 academic year. A No. 1 New York Times bestseller and the basis for an Academy Award-nominated blockbuster movie, “Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race,” by Margot Lee Shetterly, celebrates previously unsung heroes Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, who overcame sexism and racism in 1960s America to make history and pave the way for generations of scientists. Shetterly will give a keynote address on the Evanston and Chicago campuses on Oct. 17, 2019. One Book One Northwestern is a community‐wide reading program hosted by the Office of the President. It aims to engage the campus in a common conversation centered on a carefully chosen, thought-provoking book. It began in 2005 for students in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and has since evolved into a community-wide program involving students, faculty and staff from all majors and departments. Everyone is encouraged to read the One Book selection. The Office of the President sends a free copy to incoming first-year and transfer students the summer before they arrive on campus. Throughout the year, events like lectures, films, and discussion groups provide an opportunity for individuals to gather and talk about the issues presented in the book. Many of these events are open to the public and the entire community is invited to participate. Visit the Participate section to learn how you can get involved.
